Medicinal Plants Face Extinction -
The Vogel Solution.
One of the reasons Vogel started growing his own
herbs to make medicines for his patients was that this doesn't affect
wild stocks of those plants.
This has become increasingly important in
latter years, as the American prairies are denuded of Echinacea, for
example, and the Kalahari Desert is ransacked for Devil's Claw.
We grow our own herbs, which not only gives us control over the growing
conditions, but also ensures we don't bring any plant nearer to
extinction, and we keep the Botanical Gardening people happy.
The
Native Americans will never pick the first stand of a herb they are
looking for, but will wait until they find the second stand before they
pick it. This way they know they are never picking the last of that
herb.
